4. Content Mills

A lot of people put down content mills, because the pay can be very low…

However, it’s also a way for writers to get matched with clients, it’s possible to build up a good following and earn a lot more being requested for jobs personally if you’re made saved as a *favourite.*

It can be relatively easy to get your first job, (depending on the Content Mill) because it’s a first come first served scenario.

The problem is, with some sites you can only access limited jobs until you reach a certain level.

So, it can be hard to get the initial first job on some platforms, (like iwriter).

You should still be careful to avoid fraudsters. Check out the reviews of every content mill you’re interested in.

Some of the clients could also be trying to scam the system – by requesting written content, stealing it and then rejecting the article and escape paying.

This is in the minority, but can happen – even with various precautions in place to try and make it difficult.

To have a better chance of finding work, it’s a good idea to become skilled and knowledgeable in particular niches.

On some sites, like Hirewriters, clients can search for writers via their skills/expertise, so it can be a way of landing jobs.

It’s worth nothing, that Content Mills will keep a percentage of what the client pays to you as well.

While pay can be very low in the beginning, skilled writers can make a good amount.

Content Mills tend to have pretty negative reviews from writers themselves – it can be a bit of a mixed bag.

While I don’t recommend Content Mills as a career choice, they are one option to get started with Freelance writing.
